Malwarebytes Anti-Malware NOT Responding?

I have a HP Laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium and downloaded the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware software and today I tried doing a full scan and the whole program froze up and I had to bring up the task manager to close it down. It will not run at all. Am I infected?

-- Some types of malware will target Malwarebytes and other security tools to keep them from running properly. If that's the case, use Malwarebytes Chameleon and follow the onscreen instructions. The Chameleon folder can be accessed by opening the program folder for Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (normally C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware or C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware).

A black DOS box will briefly flash and then disappear. This is normal and indicates the tool ran successfully.

If not, delete the file, then download and use the one provided in Link 2.

If it does not work, repeat the process and attempt to use one of the remaining links until the tool runs.

If the tool does not run from any of the links provided, please let me know.
